Fire Department Explorers, Murrieta, CA. 92562

Murrieta Fire Department brings explorers in once a year, in June. Program is for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) or 15 to 20 years old. Young people transitioning into adulthood are selected by the participating organization for involvement in the program. Color, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background, economic status, or citizenship is not criteria for participation.

The purpose of the explorer program is to provide experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities.

The Murrieta Fire Department has teamed up with Learning for Life to provide the young men and woman in the area a chance to learn firsthand about the fire service.

Program Goals: Teach explorers about fire service, help with career path, teach respect to self and others, create good citizenship, and leadership.

Without a good career path, it is almost impossible to get a job in the fire service. Explorers learn about background investigations, oral interviews, classes needed, and the order in which to take them.
